Is there a breakdown of the votes?
Instead the dimocrat propaganda machine is pumping up Rush Limbaugh.
Motion Agreed to : Motion to Waive All Applicable Budgetary Discipline Re: S.1813; A bill to reauthorize Federal-aid highway and highway safety construction programs, and for other purposes.That one passed 66-31. "Motion to Waive all Applicable Budgetary Discipline." Heh.
Thank you. Was surprised to see Bob Casey was allowed to vote “yea.”. Either that or he got “yes” and “no” mixed up again.
You think it’s half? Most of the conservatives I know are tangled up in peripheral issues. Liberty is a vague concept. It describes the absence of something. It’s hard for the literal-minded to envision—too abstract.
Unless it’s venerated from elementary school on up, it doesn’t have an emotional nerve cell to support it. And guess what? It isn’t anymore.
Meow! Mountain lions object.
And who’s the obstructionist?
They do not know what Liberty even would mean.
Of course a vacuum won’t support Liberty. You need a positive ethic that people support for a whole different reason than because their government tells them to do it. Christianity alongside a smaller but still beneficial presence of its ancestral Judaism admirably served that purpose in America for centuries.
This has to be a major issue in the election, that is, if the eventual Republican nominee has the balls to use it. I know Newt will, the others, I wonder.
It does to a small extent but when you couple that with more continental and offshore drilling you make great strides to increasing supply thus driving prices down.
I guess we can argue...about supply and demand all night. I'm not going to do that here.
My point was the pipeline WILL no DOUBT ABOUT it create jobs for American's to build it. Unless of course they sub it out to the ChiCom's...like they are doing for bridges in CA, WA, AK.....
Hard to say. Democrats in Wisconsin just deep-sixed a mining bill that would have brought billions to the state along with thousands of UNION jobs, many in a seriously-depressed region of the state.
Dems thought they could hide behind the "we support it, but it has to protect the EARTH" lie just like the Dems in the Senate are doing here.
The result in Wisconsin? The long-maligned mining company told us to pound sand - they're taking their ball and going home. Dems were left a bit flat-footed because they thought it was a bluff.
The private sector union guys are grumbling....I hope they're waking up. The recall election of Governor Walker is the canary in the coal mine. If he wins by a landslide I think you can say they're getting it. If it's close or he's defeated....Wisconsin is not the only place that's screwed. Stick a fork in the US, it's Fluked.
Since tar is made from oil, how about we have a good old fashioned tar and feather party on the steps of the capital?
